I woke up to a feeling of intense peace. The sunlight streaming through the window seemed brighter than normal and I raised my head slowly. My mate was still passed out on top of me, and I glanced around... how did we end up on the floor?
I grinned remembering we accidentally rolled off the bed and never bothered to get back up. Stretching slightly, I crossed my arms under my head and closed my eyes again, diving into the pack bond slightly. Now I could feel the titled members of the pack with more clarity. Violet seemed to be in her office, her blimp on my internal radar was the brightest. I guess that means it's because she is the strongest? Next, I found Greg, him and Jess were in the dining room with a tiny little speck which must have been Judson. Daren and Lily were outside with dozens of other blips, must be training time.
Testing something else I stretched my radar as far as i
“You two need to be careful.” Violet greeted us as we started down the stairs. “I mean it.” She growled. “We have a situation.”“What kind of situation, Vi?” Samantha asked as she started to look around.But Violet sighed. “I don’t know all the details yet. But we know that someone is after us, or more specifically Ben.” She blinked and looked at both of us, her glasses hanging low on her nose. “What the hell... did you? …Get taller?” She stepped back and looked at us up and down before rubbing her temple again.“What are you talking about, Vi? Is Ben in danger?” Samantha asked as Jake stepped up behind her and hugged her gently.“It seems when we were out day before yesterday there were a few rogues following us.” Jake said, growling. “The
The rest of the week went by without any word from home, but when we were getting ready to leave Japan,we heard that another pack was destroyed while we were gone. Jess had gone off pack grounds to meet up with an old military friend to help her with the SIM card. So far nothing had been discovered, but they were still working on it.It was dark when the plane touched down in Asheville and the car ride was quiet and peaceful on the way back. I must have drifted off when Samantha pulled me closer to her, brushing my mark gently. When the car crossed theborderI shot awake, a sharp sensation coursing through my veins. Glancing up at my mate’s amused face from her lap I slowly and reluctantly sat up and rubbed my eyes. “Does it always feel like that?”“Yeah,itsletting you know you are home. That same sensation will also help you figure out other pack’s boundaries
“Ben focus!” Daren called out to me from the sidelines. “Stop getting distracted!” Damnitthat’seasier said than done! I duck another punch and jump away.“Stop running! Look for an opening and attack!” Holly urged.What the hell! I block a roundhouse kick to my chest and struggle to keep my balance as it pushed me closer to the fence.Glancing up all I can see is a blur from my opponent as they made it behind me trying to catch my blind spot. I spun around quickly only to find no one there... where?“Behind you!” Violet screamed as I felt a punch to my side and my knee go out from under me. I tried to flip and land on myback,but a strong grip pinned me into the dirt.“You did better that time.” My mate whispered in my ear as she held my arms tight behind me. “
The Vampire dropped his grin. “Well?” He repeated, as he continued his glare. The wolf backed up slightly, fear flooded his eyes. The undead man laughedinternally,hewouldn’tgive this mutt thesatisfactionof seeing him laugh. His thin frame towered over the wolf as his pale white face leaned down in ascowl. “Where. Is.Your. Alpha?” He spoke again, hispatiencewasalmost completelygone.Finally,the wolf shook his head and snorted, spinningaroundand trotting down another path. The vampire rolled his eyes and started to follow, careful not to snag his long cloak on the hanging thorny vines.Behind him the pawns followed, they had no choice for their lives were now tied completely to their leader, should hedieso would they into a pile of ash. A cruel fate they had now. Silently they cried, prayin
Looking around at the pack members out in the yard I grin. Ever since the sun rose thismorning,I have felt incredible! Of course, this is because the solar eclipse is today; as werewolves we draw power from the moon and when the sun is closest to the moon it gives us extreme power.Accordingto Samantha’s storiesit'sbecause Helios is visiting Selene. Or its Apollo visiting with his brother and sister-in-law. I chuckled, she told all the pack pups this story early this morning, even Kendall and some of the adults stayed and listened in awe.One day we should sit down and get them recorded on video for future reference. Afterall, some of these legends are integrated into the history of our pack. I barely remember years ago Victoria once showed me thereally oldbook in the library whereall ofher stories werekept;hm... as Luna Iamresponsible
The next few days were about the same, walk the newperimeteronce in the morning and once at night, checking for anything out of the ordinary.Samantha is teaching me some moves with akatana,and I am a total beginner. The first day I pulled the sword out of itssheathand nearly dropped it on my foot.Ihaven’thad anymore blackout spells since the time I woke up in her – our oasis, but it still worried me slightly. After talking and thinking it out I decided I must havewentferal, the intense energy from the solareclipsemust have triggered something in my mind.Myferalside must have wanted some alone time with my mate. I smirked knowing it was a perverted one as I imagined just what we could have been doing- a foot connected with the back of myhead,and I rolled with it and went back
“And this is the Beta’s floor.” Ron said as we followed them up the landing. “At the end is where my parents stay, the main beta suite. My room is here.” He pointed to a door close to the stairs. “I um... made you a key...” He held out a keyring with two keys on it. Orla looked at it questioningly before he continued. “And I um... that other key is for your room.”Orla’s eyes widened. “My room?”“Yeah, I wanted you to not feel pressured, and with your own space you have a quiet safe place to return to if you get overwhelmed....” Ron nearly whispered.After a long moment of silenceOrla finallynodded and smiled. “Thank you.”“Oh,but if you ever needme,you can always come to my room.” Ron started rambling. “I mean
“I can’t believe it.” Monica grinned sinisterly as the creations that her mate brought with him seemed to change overnight. Now they smelled more like wolves just like her mate did. “Youthere.” She pointed to one of the pawns. “Walk into the sun, let’s see what happens.” Shelaughed,she knew that vampires could not go into the sunlight for they would burst into flames.But the pawndidn’tmove, instead he sneered at her. Hedidn’task for any of this, he was out living his best life when he was captured by the vampire prince and turned into an undead monster. Now he was cursed again it seemed!“You heard what the Mistress said.” Magna growled from behind her, he was new to this whole ‘mate’business,but he hada strong desireto see every wish she wanted came true. He scoffed, a
